Pooping Unicorn toymaker settles Black Eyed Peas’ ‘My Humps’ parody lawsuit
Black Eyed Peas over a ‘My Humps’ parody.In January this year, Black Eyed Peas’ music publisher BMG Rights Management took legal action against MGA (the company behind Bratz) over alleged similarities between their 2005 track and one sung by the Poopsie Slime Surprise: Dancing Unicorn toy.According to the lawsuit, the toys sing a song called ‘My Poops’ at the push of its heart-shaped bellybutton. However, the track allegedly ripped off the rap group’s 2005 hit, ‘My Humps’.Now, the two parties have reportedly reached “a settlement in principle” to resolve the lawsuit, according to Billboard.In the original complaint made in January, BMG said that, in additional to copying musical elements, the unicorn song featured a lead vocalist who “sounds very similar” to Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie.“My poops, my poops my poops my poops. Whatcha gonna do with all that poop, all that poop,” sings the toy.“I drive my parents crazy, I do it every day,” it continues.
